How to Resize the Widgets on iPhone and Android

Want to resize a widget you've added but don't know how? This guide is for you! I'll explain how to change widget sizes on both iPhone and Android in detail.

【iPhone】How to Resize Widgets

With iOS 18, you can now easily change widget sizes directly on the home screen. However, some apps don't support this feature. If that happens, use the method in step 3 to delete and re-add the widget in your preferred size.

1. Change Multiple Widget Sizes at Once (iOS 18 and Later)

1. Hold down the home screen.
2. Drag the "corner mark" on the widget to resize it.

2. Change the Size of a Specific Widget (iOS 18 and Later)

1. Hold down the widget you want to resize.
2. Tap the new size from the widget menu.

3. Done!

3. If the Widget Doesn’t Support Resizing

Some widgets in iOS 18 and earlier versions don’t support resizing. In that case, you must delete and re-add the widget in the size you want.

How to Re-add a Widget in a New Size

1. Hold down the widget.
2. Tap "Remove Widget."

3. Hold down the home screen.
4. Tap "Edit" in the top left.

5. Tap "Add Widget."
6. Select the widget you want to add.

7. Tap "Done" in the top right.
8. The widget is now re-added!

【Android】How to Resize Widgets

Some widgets can be resized, while others cannot. 💡 Here, I’ll explain how to resize widgets on Galaxy (Android 14) as an example. The process may vary depending on your device and OS version.

1. Change the Size of an Existing Widget

If you want to keep the widget’s design but adjust its size, follow these steps:

1. Hold down the widget.
2. A "frame" will appear around the widget—drag it up, down, left, or right to adjust the size.

2. Re-add a Widget in a Different Size

Some widgets come in multiple designs (e.g., square or wide versions). If resizing isn’t possible, find the right size from the widget list and re-add it.

How to Re-add a Widget in a New Size

1. Hold down the home screen.
2. Tap "Widgets."

3. Select the widget size you want to add.
4. Tap "Add."

5. Done! (If you want to resize this, try step 1.)

Summary

Today, I explained how to resize widgets on both iPhone and Android! Some apps don’t allow resizing, but you can still try re-adding them in a different size.
